Couture/Ortiz would be the best coached season of TUF. Let's face it, coaching isn't a determining factor when choosing coaches for TUF, or Rampage and Shamrock wouldn't have ever been considered for the job. Personality, rivalry and name value are the biggest factors. Tito has the perfect reality TV personality, brash and a shit talker. Randy, not so much. It's not that Randy doesn't have personality, he just doesn't have the reality TV start shit type of personality. That would mean the conflict was all one way. Pretty much like Hendo and Bisping, without the appeal of UK vs. US.
Personally, I'd like to see BJ Penn/?. Maybe Diego Sanchez, eventhough I personally couldn't stand the guy on his season. Both have personality, both are great fighters, and I think Penn would create conflict. I think Penns personality is perfect for TUF. He is cocky, when the cameras are on him, and he knows he is the world's best lightweight. Sanchez, as much as I think he's a dumbass, praying to raingods and that dumb shit, has a personality that I think would lead to alot of conflict with Penn, or just about anybody really. Penn is a great fighter but he has only recently, with in the last 2 or 3 years, started taking coniditioning and full time training seriously, so his coaching may turn out to be Rampage-esque.
